Online Business Manager

This package is aimed to support business owners who need more than an assistant. Someone to manage your business to enable you to really focus on where you add value and make sure you have the time available you need to concentrate on other priorities while knowing your business management is in the best hands.

How do you know when to hire an OBM?

First, if you find yourself feeling like your business running you rather than you running your business, that is a big clue. The second is if you find that you are in a growth spot and have no idea what to do next. You’ll find yourself wishing you had someone to bounce ideas off or who understands all the parts of your business, caring as much about it as you do. If you’ve answered yes to either of the above, then it’s time!

One question I get asked about all the time is, what comes first the OBM or the lower level staff? In my opinion an OBM is the first stop in placing the right people within your business. They can help you grow, hire, manage and just generally make shit happen.

VA versus OBM

The focus of the Online Business Manager is on ‘management’ whereas a VA’s focus is on the ‘doing’.

An Online Business Manager is hired to manage your projects, team members, operations, and expenses to ensure that all projects are completed in a timely and efficient manner.

An OBM is:

Your second brain

Looks at the big picture, AND the fine details

More than just a task ticker

Higher level skill-set than a Virtual Assistant

NOT paid to say YES

Manages projects, staff, budgets and operations
